I think they're talking about people who have accounts on and edit for
"attack sites". Basically, people involved with Wikipedia Review or
Encyclopedia Dramatica. They may not actually be stalkers themselves,
of course; this is assumed by the fact that they help build these
websites.
I myself have an account on Encyclopedia Dramatica, but I have never
stalked anybody. I have never threatened anybody, posted any personal
information, or anything like that, and I am not of the opinion that
such actions are funny. If an acquaintance is planning something along
those lines, I let them know it is unacceptable.

You would have to ask Sarah and clarify with Gerard. If Gerard was
referring to the example I read to him, the individual never had special
ops
on any project. There exist a variety of such people, though.
I don't see Birgitte as a a person given to rash conclusions; she is
probably more careful than most about questioning them. Comments about
some stalker being an admin or bureaucrat do become a part of the
landscape. You may even be talking about two different people. In time
these stories tend to merge.
